Surprisingly, the scene I was most impressed with was the part where Nayuki showed Yuuichi around town. When I heard 雪の少女, I got the goosebumps. The memorable scenes are all great, but it's the "daily, normal talk scenes" that really reminded you of the game.

Another thing that Kyoani has done well is the feeling of "winter", Yuuchi's morning really showed that off well. I really felt cold just watching him walk outside in pyjamas.

Now then, until this thread returns to normal from it's 2ch-ness, I'll stay away for a bit.

That might be so, but whoever animated the snow shoveling scene very clearly never encountered any significant amounts of the stuff in real life... No snow I ever had the displeasure of shoveling ever let itself be cut out in convenient squares, and it sure as heck didn't magically disappear when put next to a wall (the evil stuff piles up in meter-high droves when you shovel the kind of area Yuuichi was working on...).

Actually, if you observe closely, the pile does grow as Yuuichi adds more.

I've seen snow do that but only after it builds a crust after having melted slightly and refrozen. Actually I think there's different kinds of snow too depending on the environment, though I live in Utah and all this stuff is powder.

My heart aches watching this and I actually hope for a different ending this time around though that's doubtful.

Being relatively new to your forums (Actually I registered some years ago before all the accounts got dumped I just barely ever post) I don't know how to post spoilers. But the Kanon threads on other forums I more commonly visit are moving to slow.

Ever notice when Akiko pour that boiling pot of water to gate's handle, she immediately touched it when it was still hot

--> I re-watched the first ep again and it was funny when Nayuki chases the fox.
--> That Yuuichi and Ayu conversation scene on the restaurant reminds me of Haruhi and Kon's conversation. You know, Kon is just flat out when talking and Yuuichi is doing the same thing to Ayu.
--> Strange, how many people beginning to compare it to Suzumiya Haruhi. Kon's voice effect maybe?

But Yuuichi is a softie at heart and not that sarcastic like Kyon was imo.

Spoiler:

That tearing as he was falling off to sleep was just so sad.

I'm not comparing the 2. Then again, I did abstain from Haruhi for a while because of Kanon so that I wouldn't confuse seiyuu performances. Other than having Kyon's seiyuu as Yuuichi, the 2 titles are not similar at all.

So, if that's Mokoto why's she still a kit? I don't think foxes stay kits for 7 years but other then that all the girls are in episode 1. I'm not sure if they're saying she doesn't age as a fox or if it's not her at all. Do we see her as a fox in the game?

Spoiler for about Mai:

When Yuuichi asks about the schoolhouse being a barley field is that where Mai started out killing demons? I only remember it mentioned in the first show that she hunted demons as a child. Since the schoolhouse was built on the field did she just stay put where she hunted?

So now what, do all the Haruhi avatars and sigs get changed over to Kanon ones or is it too early to tell.

Oh and I live in Canada and I hate snow, but now that we have snowblower its not so bad. Trust me, I don't need to watch Kanon to see snow.

Oh and Sugita Tomokazu eh, well that kills any chance of me ever watching this show or giving it a chance. I refuse to watch anything with Souichiro Hoshi and Sugita Tomokazu in major roles, number one because Hoshi has the most annoying voice of any voice actor in the Japanese Industry and number two because I find Sugita Tomokazu dry, flat and somewhat irritating with his voice as well, but not to the degree of Souchiro Hoshi. That and Sugita Tomokazu did the worst job voice over job I've ever heard in a video game for Brooklyn Luckfield in SRW Alpha 3 and made him sound annoying as hell. Say what you will, but I won't budge on this, its like when Mary Hart gave the guys a seizure, Sugita Tomakazu and Souichiro Hoshi give me a nervous twitch that I can't get rid of no matter how hard I try to ignore his voice. I'll just hang out elsewhere as I've lost any interest in this one.

Ep 1
I agree, the feeling of winter was beautiful especially since we're in Fall/soon to be in winter season.

I've never watched the previous Kanon so I'm completely new to the story. So far, so good. I like Ayu, she's so cute. So this is where the infamous "Uguu~" came from.

My only complaints are (IMO! IMO! IMHO!)...
All of the girls look the same except for the hair style, hair color and eye color.
Yuuchi looks (and sound) too old for a highschooler.
The ending song annoys me. But that's because I hate pop/techno/whatever it's called genre haha.

I'm definitely watching it~ I like winter and romance.

Thank God for Kanon, I've actually been in a BIG anime rut for the past year, nothing I watched could get me back into the game. That is until I watched Kanon. I just saw the first episode and all I can say is wow. I don't know if it's the animation, the scenery, the characters, or the music, but there's something about it I really like. I might actually follow this show weekly. Ohhhhh I can feel the dead otaku within me coming back to life.
